August 10, 2015 — A man who identified himself only as a distant cousin of Nathan Bedford Forrest, holds cleaning spray as Rev. Michael Morris (right), of Holy Ghost Ministry, pressure washes a “Black Lives Matter” message off Forrest’s statue at Health Sciences Park in Memphis. Two days after Darrius Stewart was buried in Greenwood, Miss., someone defaced the statue and gravesite of the former Confederate general, who was also a slave trader and the first Grand Wizard of the Ku Klux Klan. Several people invested a few hours cleaning it. Stewart, a 19-year-old black man, was fatally shot on July 17 by white Memphis police officer Connor Schilling after a traffic stop in Hickory Hill.
